Hi there! I've cleaned up your nomination for this article. I'm sure the deletion request is valid, but I should point out WP:CSD and WP:AFD, which detail the process for nominating articles. If you come across anything similar in future, you should follow the appropriate procedure rather than just blanking the page. Tevildo 21:47, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link project

Hey, I noticed at Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links in your description of Greek about your hands hurting. I just want to make sure that you're aware of a program that helps tremendously with most tasks involved in this Wikiproject. Found here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/fixer, the program is called CorHomo and it allows for semi-automation of the disambiguation link repair job. You do have to download it to your computer, but it's definitely worth it. Hope this helps! -Oatmeal batman 01:24, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Wecc logo.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Wecc logo.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Commercial use of Image:CharlestonFire1.jpg, Image:CharlestonFire2.jpg and Image:CharlestonFire3.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:CharlestonFire1.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:CharlestonFire1.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:CharlestonFire1.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 00:24, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Link removed from Dodge Diplomat

I have just reviewed WP:EL and cannot understand why you removed the external link. The page whose link you removed is far and away the most authoritative site on the web about Dodge Diplomats, and I think it is entirely relevant. On the other hand, the link you allowed to remain contains far less useful information. In fact, the page whose link you allowed to remain once awarded the deleted site a rather coveted award for its comprehensive content. Fjbfour (talk) 22:12, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fjbfour, I didn't know enough about the other link to decide whether to remove it, but the link I removed I considered to be a combination of two of the points under "Links normally to be avoided" in the External links guideline: 11. Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace), discussion forums/groups (such as Yahoo! Groups) or USENET, and 12. Links to blogs and personal web pages, except those written by a recognized authority. The only suitable links for pages on vehicles (in my opinion - happy to hear other opinions) are reviews by reputable reviewers/companies and the official website(s) for the car. Forums, clubs, personal webpages etc don't normally meet the criteria. Hope that makes sense. :) Somno (talk) 00:08, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, no objection from me. It was mostly the "community" name and the unprofessional look of the webpage that caused me to remove it, plus I was in "mass-delete" mode as I went through dozens of vehicle articles looking for links that obviously violated the guideline. You've had a proper look at the site and believe it adds value to the article, so no objection from me to adding it back! The Dodge Diplomat article is one of the best car articles I saw yesterday - most of the Nissan articles are terrible. Somno (talk) 02:25, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Rf logo.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Rf logo.JPG. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria.

Open Access Same Time Information System

I read the article on the Open Access Same Time Information System (OASIS) and found it to be very informative. I saw that you did a major rewrite on it a few months ago. I am doing some research on OASIS and wanted to know where you got your primary source information from. The only links I saw at the bottom were to the TSIN web page which looks obsolete. I appreciate any help. Thanks. Signurandal (talk) 18:16, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(Copy of response posted to Signurandal's talk page): I will readily admit that what I did to that page goes against the desire to have multiple, verifiable sources, but the fact is that there just isn't much in the way of external verifiable sources for that information. I don't know if I would call it "original research", but it more or less is my own writing based on my experience and knowledge from building and using various OASIS applications during my eleven years in the industry, working for several different companies (energy merchant, system operations, OASIS software development).

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page . Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 02:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Ron Brown (Nebraska)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ron Brown (Nebraska), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non-notable American football coach, fails WP:ATHLETE

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Truthanado (talk) 23:34, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Would you please take a look at Talk:Ron Brown (Nebraska), which includes a response explaining the reasoning behind the PROD tag. Thanks, Truthanado (talk) 14:19, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting userbox mismatch

A userbox on your user page states that you find "singular they" to be substandard English, and then a few boxes later, it is used, viz: "This user is NOT known for taking themself too seriously." Isn't that interesting? Truthanado (talk) 21:42, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:University of Nebraska Logo 1992-2003.PNG

Thanks for uploading File:University of Nebraska Logo 1992-2003.PNG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:06, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NFCC and your reversions

I've undone your re-inclusion of the Nebraska Cornhuskers logo as they do not comply with WP:NFCC #10c, and thus the restorations are against policy.

Categories for Nebraska Cornhuskers football season pages

Fjbfour, I've noticed your recent good work on Nebraska Cornhuskers football season pages. I want to bring one point about the categorization of those pages to your attention. Individual season pages such as 1911 Nebraska Cornhuskers football team should not be categorized under Category:Nebraska Cornhuskers football. They belong in Category:Nebraska Cornhuskers football seasons, which rolls up into its parent, Category:Nebraska Cornhuskers football.

Keep up the great work! Jweiss11 (talk) 08:38, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

old seasons of the Nebraska football team

You've been doing some great work on various seasons of the Nebraska football team. Bravo! Really well done! With one minor exception :) You've been adding File:Unlofficialseal.png to these articles. The general practice has been to add the team's logo, not the university seal, to the article. Failing the existence of a logo, a (preferably free) image of the team from that year. Failing that, usually nothing. Second, in every case that you added the seal, no fair use rationale was provided for its use. Per WP:NFCC #10c, a fair use rationale for each use of a copyrighted item must be supplied. If you want to use the seal for these seasons, you might want to raise the issue at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football first. Keep up the great work! --Hammersoft (talk) 14:54, 20 November 2009 (UTC) (merging discussion here)[reply]

Thanks for the nice comments. On the logos, I've about lost my sanity trying to go through all the discussions on fair use of logos and which logos are allowed to be used where and for what. I know I didn't fix the WP:NFCC #10c stuff, just hadn't gotten around to it yet and hoped to before these got whacked. I am not convinced there is clear reason to remove these (aside from the #10c issue), because as you stated, the "general practice" has been "....." but there is no enforceable policy addressing this as yet. Still, it is not worth my time to even try to discuss it with the group without a consensus or ruling to base a discussion on.... and I am not remotely crazy enough to start yet another discussion in it. I'll just leave them off for now, or always, depending on how it goes. Thanks. Fjbfour (talk) 18:35, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can certainly sympathize with the craziness of the fair use discussions. But, it is what is, for better or worse. As for the seal being appropriate or not; I'm just going off of what I've seen on hundreds of these season pages. I've never seen a university seal be used to represent as a logo for a football team for its season. So, my take is it's common practice not to use the seals. It's an interesting question, perhaps :), but the further back in the past you go, the less likely there is to be a logo for a given college football team. About the oldest I've found anywhere is for the Nebraska Cornhuskers team dating to 1956 (see this resource). Possibly all old uniforms pre-1950 had school color type uniforms, with the numbers on them and nothing else. --Hammersoft (talk) 18:54, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NY Bomb scare

I already created one at 2010 New York pipe bomb scare‎. Let's merge them together. Shadowjams (talk) 06:51, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, you're fast. I looked for one without success before starting that! However, I have seen no sources indicating a "pipe bomb" specifically, but rather a somewhat undefined incendiary/explosive device. I think my title is less restrictive with what will be coming out over time. I'd suggest taking anything in yours not in mine, adding that info in, and then forwarding your article title to mine. If keeping your edit history is important, though, I have no problem with a merge. Fjbfour (talk) 06:55, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hah. That's fine. As much as I'd love the initial credit :P, your article's better developed. The pipe bomb language I think I pulled from the Times article, although maybe not. It's hard to know if I made that up or if it was in an earlier version of the article--they tend to update it a lot. I'll merge in what I've got manually and redirect my version. Shadowjams (talk) 06:57, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You earned initial credit fair and square. :) If you can find an admin to merge them and keep your credit, I'm cool with that. Fjbfour (talk) 07:00, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No need. I merged in some things and made some minor changes. The only one of any controversy would be the "terrorist" piece, which the NY Times is reporting it is not, although I think that has yet to develop. I threw in a "possible" there. Shadowjams (talk) 07:04, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:54, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Standings templates

Fjbfour, thanks for creating all those Big Ten football standing templates. One little thing: when you transclude them onto articles, be sure not have a blank line after the template code. The blank line causes the article to display extra spacing at the top of the page or section. Thanks again. Jweiss11 (talk) 00:03, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that extra space is a pain. I tried tinkering around with the template code to see if this could be fixed dynamically, but to no avail. I think the issue might be the fact that we have two templates sitting back-to-back with the team infobox and the standings table. By all means, tag any templates or other articles you create with the CFB project banner. I don't believe I have any authorization that you don't as well! For templates all you need to enter is {{WikiProject College football}} and that will automatically assess templates as Template class. Thanks again. Jweiss11 (talk) 00:14, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nebraska Cornhuskers combination image

I'm in the process of converting the college football uniforms over to a new template and I'm removing the combination images since they're superfluous and would be too large with my new template (especially since many of them are too large even with the old template).

Proposed deletion of Carl Pelini

The article Carl Pelini has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

College football assistant coaches are normally not considered notable, and notability cannot be achieved because of his head coach and brother Bo Pelini.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello Fjbfour! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only.
If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.

You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey

File permission problem with File:CharlestonFire1.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:CharlestonFire1.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.

Proposed deletion of East County Fire & Rescue

The article East County Fire & Rescue has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not appear to satisfy WP:ORG, the applicable notability guideline. Routine local organization.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:23, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Fire Service

Hello and good afternoon (at least it is afternoon where I am). I was looking at the Wikipedian firefighters category and noticed that you are one of the members of the Wikipedia community that lists yourself as being a firefighter. First and foremost let me say thank you for your service. While I myself am not a firefighter, I do work as a photographer with multiple local fire departments. I am honored to have firefighters as some of my closest friends.

I have been taking an active role in the Fire Service WikiProject and am trying to recruit more members to this cause. If this is something you have any interest in, please let me know? You can leave me a message on my talk page. Obviously there is zero obligation. An interest can be anything from helping out with a couple of pages in your local area to helping to overhaul major templates, and anything in between.

Once again, thank you for your service. Hope to hear from you soon. Stay safe! --Zackmann08 (talk) 17:51, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New deal for page patrollers

Hi Fjbfour,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of SERC Reliability Corporation

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on SERC Reliability Corporation, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. — Jeff G. ツ 15:54, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

erroneous IP block appeal

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Fjbfour (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is 208.87.237.201. Employer's network, not part of any kind of ISP hosting entity that I am aware of.

Decline reason:

Employers often use webhosts for security reasons. You will either have to edit elsewhere, or request an IP block exemption by following the instructions at WP:IPECPROXY. 331dot (talk) 20:08, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Emergency! userbox

Hello, Fjbfour. I created my own userbox for Emergency! before I discovered yours. I would like to create more, but not until more usable public domain images become available. I've come up with a userbox that's similar to your own (so I won't be creating it), but I'll provide you the code in case you find something useful in it. The LA County Fire Door Markings Example ca. 1972.jpg image you've added to yours has become pixelated, hence why I was trying to come up with a text-only variant (decimal   is an hair space). Alternatively, you could replace the ID text with Biophone by BioCom Inc.jpg (WP:CC-BY-SA 4.0).
